I was excited to catch it in the act, thought I'd share.

Nice! Never seen molting pics of amblypygids....I keep a few but never caught them in the act. I must say I don't observe them that much.....

Very nice! Thanks for sharing that.
I got some bad ones of mine molting to 2i. I was too afraid of disturbing them.

Awesome pictures! I never thought they came out pure white like that.

Thank you. And they do turn green/blue fairly quickly. I wish they stayed that color.

That is very cool! Thanks for posting those.

Amazing at how all those super-long, fragile, appendages manage to survive the process...

They do better hanging like in my pic's here.This way they will not lose the "whips".

Yes, sorry about that, forgot to mention I rotated the pics.

I thought something was odd about how they looked. Do you know if you have a male or female and do you have more than just the one ??

I have five living together in a tall ten gallon. No idea what sex, but I'm not sure they're big enough to tell yet. Since I rehoused them, I actually see them out quite a bit in the evening. They're fun to watch, especially when they run into each other and tap around furiously. Speedy hunters too.
